Care and Requirements.
Arrow Arum is from a group of plants known as marginal, bog, or shallow water plants. Marginals typically like to have their roots constantly wet, but most of the plant is held above water level.

"..Bog plants add height and texture to any water garden. Most will survive in moist/damp soil, and tolerate water depths from 2"-12" depending on the species. Full sun is preferred (4-6 hours/day); but some tolerate partial shade/sun. Most marginal plants are highly invasive, and should not be planted on the bottom of earthen ponds. Plant in 1-3 gallon container in garden soil. Plants are hardy in zones indicated; treat as annuals in other areas..."
